There are plenty of suggestions for this via google. Have a look at https://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-10/how-to-fix-a-windows-10-pc-that-wont-sleep/

Most likely there is an app that is running and preventing sleep mode. The link above shows how to find that. And if it's something else (like the power plan or a physical device preventing sleep) there are steps for those too.

The current verion of Windows 10 is 21H2.

You're running 21H1.

You need to update your Operating System.

Never mind the windows version, the graphics drivers are at 19.30.2

Unless there's a good reason you're running the old ones there have been a lot of updates since those.

Without latest windows version the OP is missing critical .Net Framework.

This software has a significant impact on graphics audio and internet performance.

If this base software is not up to date then updating hardware drivers could be unsupported and lead to more issues.

Build from the ground up not from the roof down.

You can get .Net framework without the "feature packs" or whatever they call the big updates these days. It's possible they've done that (maybe not though considering the driver date).

My point still remains they're using a driver from a full three years ago. Unless there's a good reason I'd be more worried about that.
